Saw this clip. Healing isn't good in 3S, and even worse in this matchup. I have no idea why the Oro didn't see that coming, but to be fair he probably didn't even realise that the Elena picked that super. Not sure who is missing more chromosomes in this clip, but it's hilarious and I love it. 10/10.

Edit:

 

This made me think about when we were talking about 3S killing FGs in the US...

 

Jiyuna makes a good point about arcades in the US, and it was pretty much what I was trying to say. 

 

The US, outside of the big cities, didn't have a lot of arcades by the time 3S came out. 

 

Also, 3S was on a finicky board that was prone to breaking. 

I've never seen a CPS III game in the wild. 

 

But, I've also never seen a Alpha series cab outside of a candy cab, and that was in 2019. 

 

I'm just saying, that by 99, unless you were in a couple concentrated pockets, the arcades were either gone or on their way out

[Mattatsu]

Yeah, around ‘99, there were very few arcades in the malls around me.  In fact, in ‘99, i can only think of one and a store took its place like a year later.

 

after that you practically only saw arcade cabs in bowling alleys, and the odd bar or movie theatre, and they’d rarely be a fighting game.

The only cab I have ever seen was Injustice one, and it was the mobile game... They literally made an arcade cabinet for a mobile game and put in 2 buttons for the controls...

The only fighting game cabs I remember seeing as a kid were Tekken 2 at the skating rink, a MvC2 cab at the nice movie theater (lol at canadian "theatre", you fancy boys), and a soulcalibur cab at the shitty movie theater. 

 

There was a dave and busters, but I don't remember and FGs, and a chuck-e-cheese, but I also don't remember any FG cabs there.

I have so much hate for that video right now.  

 

First of all, oatmeal lowers cholesterol and is part of a well balanced diet. Add honey and blueberries like I did this morning and you've got meter all day.

 

Second, 45 is a great age. Fuck you kid.

 

Third, boomers never played videogames back in the day cause they didn't exist. Boomers played pinball. If you're gonna take potshots at my gen at least get the name right.

 

Fourth, when you lose and go back to the end of the six-guy line, you spend that time thinking and analyzing why you lost. That makes you better.

 

Fifth, Graham Wolf won the fucking tournament. 

 

Sixth, Daigo is also in that same generation of "if I was into it now like I was then".

 

This YouTube wannabe can fuck right off all of my lawns.

Y'all can shut up. With a hairline that recedes like an arctic shore and a haircut that can only be described as A Tale of Two Cities you really can't be commenting on what is and isn't a boomer. Boomerism is a state of mind, not being. Just as everyone born after 1990 is a zoomer to boomers, anyone born before 2000 is a boomer to the zoomers.

Now I was pretty much a toddler by then, but around... 03, 04, I think, Arcades weren't really a thing down in South KOFland either. I was fortunate to have an ice cream store in front of my house with an 02 cab where I learned the ways of the jump heavy kick, but the level of play was so bad that I was actually taking down a couple people.

Yeah the boomer insult makes me laugh because it makes no damn sense. My mom is a boomer. If you are born after 1964, you are too young to be a boomer. You a dozen years off from a boomer at 45

[Mattatsu]

I’m annoyed with myself now, but I barely even played at arcades when I was a kid... I was terrible at fighting games back then, and especially worse when I was using sticks as I was so used to pad - I could never get any special moves to come out and I’d spend the whole match trying, instead of just trying to win (though, I probably thought I needed the specials to win).
 

we weren’t “well to do” either, so if I was lucky enough to get $5 from my mom to “go wild” with, she wouldn’t give me more when I returned 15 minutes later asking for more because she was expecting that to last me an hour or two... Damn, she knew I was trash when I was 10... feelsbadman

Pretty sure boomer has been overused to the point that the original meaning is mostly lost. At this point it’s just an insult towards old people with a certain “back in my day” mentality.

it’s also funny because I’m almost 37, but when when I was 17, do you know how old 37 seemed? Shit seemed like you should be getting to retire then.

[Hawkingbird]

There were plenty of places around where I lived that had arcade cabs. There was this one pizza place by the train station that would always get the newest Capcom games. I was introduced to Darkstalkers, VS series, and Alpha thanks to that place. Most of the neighborhood kids would go there to play games. A corner store two blocks away from it had Tekken 2 and X-Men: Children of the Atom.

 

A couple of blocks down there was a video rental store that usually carried 3D fighters. I mostly remember playing Soul Calibur, Tekken 3 and NBA Jam there. Across the street from it was another pizza place that had Power Stone, and whatever racing game was hot at the time. 

 

Laundromats here mostly carried Neo Geo cabs so there's where I would play Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown 4, and SVC Chaos. It's also where I would play rail gun shooters like Area 51, and Time Crisis.

 

Movie theaters were the best imo. It's where I got introduced to Mortal Kombat, House of the Dead, Terminator games, Daytona USA, and some other Namco rail shooters I'm forgetting right now. 

 

Man, I miss arcades 😭

Double post.

 

Filipinos are "latinos"

Latin Asians/Hispanic Asians

 

Latino and Hispanic is not a race thing, and iis not tied to only latin america.

Latino and Hispanic are a commonality traits based on cultures that descend from Latin/Rome and Spaniards repectively.

 

So, for example, Spaniards, French, Portuguese, Brazilians, Italians, etc all are Latinos.

But only Spaniards, All spanish speaking countries, Filipinos are hispanics.

 

I know in usa some people like to use Latino as a descriptor of race, but is totally wrong, since for example you can have black latinos, native latinos, mixed latinos, chinese latinos (very common in my country since we have generations of chinese inmigrants that no longer have any cultural ties to china)

 

Just in my family we have a lot of different etnicities on it, with jews, blacks, caucasians, naties, etc, and all of us are latinos, lol.

Truthfully, designations like Baby Boomer, Generation X, and Millennial often make no sense. Any gap more than a decade tends to be problematic in my view. What does a Millennial born in 1980 have in common with one born in 1996? Hell in my case I'm Gen X. I have a lot more in common with early 80s Millennials. My former co-worker was Gen X like me, but she was born in 1965. We didn't relate at all. She had more in common with my mom, a boomer, born in 1959.

As the arcades died in my area in the mid 90s, it was always a pleasure to find the odd arcade cab in places you wouldn't think to look.

 

I hit this trucker's stop on my evening commute home from college to gas up all the time, then one day explore it to find it had a Fighters History cab in the back.  Totally unfamiliar with the name, I play and discover it's a solid game. So many happy quarters ended my day that semester. 

 

A year or two later I'm in a hole-in-the-wall noodle shop for lunch and hear the faint sound of hadokens from the back.  This is how I discovered SF Alpha existed.

Totally agree.

Is specially troublesome when you take socioeconomic differences and cultural differences as well.

 

My experiences in my country vastly differ with the ones of someone from USA Ney York, even if we both were born the same day.

Then add that my parents are actual boomers born in 1951 and 1959 respectively, so it muddies things even more, lol.

 

If we go by what some sites say, i should be considered a millenial/late gen x, but i have more in common with late 70s gex in many things because we had like a delay of 10 years with the new technology here, internet didnt became a full common thing in houses until the early 2000s, same for cable tv.

 

My 1st console was an Atari 2600 on 1990, lol.

It's crazy to me that someone born in 1980 with a kid born in 1996 would both be millennials.

Yeah I was born in 95 and depending on the writer I’m late af millennial or the oldest gen-z’er on earth. It makes no sense

 

Funny enough ive been experiencing a similar thing with music. I’ve been organizing my music into playlists by era (90’s, 00’s, etc) as a sort of virtual music time capsule for the future and I’ve noticed that the playlists don’t mesh well if you go above 4-5 years. Like when I break down my 2000’s playlist, I hear 3 different main themes. The turn of the century stuff which sounds like the 90’s +1, the stuff from like 04-08 which is the main 2000’s sound I thought of when making this list, and then last stuff from 08-10 which is just the prologue to the trap explosion in the 2010’s. However my “2020” playlist sounds very coherent, and the couple songs from 2019 I added don’t sound out of place at all.

I think the best way to separate the millennials and gen-z'ers is what your memory of the internet and cell phones is. If you can't remember a time before the internet (or at the very least, don't remember dial up and AOL), or before everyone had a cell phone in their pocket, you're a zoomer.

I definitely remember dial-up Jesus Christ. We had some shit called EarthLink and “slow” doesn’t even properly describe the speed. Would probably be faster to drive across the country with a burnt CD then try to send it via dial up.

I never experienced not having a phone, but I'm used to landlines and fax machines.

 

I used a lot of VCRs, VHSs, cassettes, etc. Can repair all of them too. Dial up was so short lived that I can't remember it well, but I must have experienced it for about a month...

 

I didn't use AOL, I used Lime.
